Vehicle construction is a key market for Schäfer connectors.
Saving potential by plug-in connections
The high innovation degree and the confined installation space with a high number of connections, are optimum prerequisites for the use of innovative connection technology. The significant saving potential in the assembly time compared with screw systems, makes Schäfer plug-in systems particularly interesting for this market segment.

Mobile hydraulic involves high demands on hydraulic systems. Under extreme conditions, the connection technology has to work reliably and faultlessly in confined spaces.
Permanently tight hydraulic systems
Especially in the area of mobile hydraulics, leaky hydraulic connections are an important topic. By the use of plug-in systems, under or over-tightening can be excluded and leaks can be prevented.
